The police said further legal action was underway. Police have registered an FIR against eight people following a complaint lodged by Prachi’s father, Anil Kumar Tiwari, who alleged that his daughter had been subjected to persistent physical and mental harassment since her marriage. The presence of injury marks on Prachi’s body further intensified the family’s suspicions, prompting them to approach the police and accuse her in-laws of being responsible for her death. The police are investigating the circumstances surrounding Prachi’s death, including the allegations of dowry harassment and the injury marks reportedly found on her body. The sequence of events leading to her death and the circumstances in which the body was moved from the room to the veranda are also relevant to establishing what happened at the house. The allegations against the accused are yet to be established through the investigation. Further details about the post-mortem examination and any subsequent police action were not available in the initial report.
However, when her parents and other members of her maternal family reached the spot, they found her body lying in the veranda outside the house, according to the complaint. The deceased, identified as Prachi Tiwari, had injury marks on her body, while her family has accused her husband and other in-laws of killing her over dowry demands.
